BQA Annual Report 2026

To Our 2026 BQA Members and Race Organizers

On behalf of the BQA I’d like to say a Huge THANK YOU to all our Race organizers and volunteers, they work so hard each year to put on these events for us, it is a big commitment and we really do appreciate your time! Thanks also to all the Sponsors who support them, and to you the BQA Members please keep spreading the word and as always thank you for your valuable membership and ongoing support, it’s so much appreciated by your Governing Body. Your annual fees are vital so we can run the BQA Governing Body and more important provide the ever important Insurance fees to be able to support the Race Organizers…. Big Thanks!

It has been a really quiet year on the whole for Quadrathlon Racing, the numbers of competitors racing, has been the lowest we have had in a long time. We are back to 4 Races with 2 of our race organizers adding a Sprint Race to their Middle Distance Event, thanks to Lincsquad, and Simon Hammond,Bude for this fabulous addition! The Brigg Bomber hosted the European Championships, this was fabulous for GB to have this race on the World Circuit, even though we are a small minority sport, it certainly helps raise the profile and gives GB Athletes to get a World Ranking too.

I would also like to say an enormous thanks to John Kavanagh who produces the BQA and WQF Tables after each race, this is a huge commitment and we are all very grateful for his dedication in getting these tables done for us …. Thanks John

A Big Thanks also to Donna Chappill the BQA Chairperson, she is certainly a great ambassador for our sport!  Thanks also to every single one of you involved, without you our sport would simply not exist, our race organizers, our marshals, coaches, and also to every single one of you that made it to the start line this year, be proud of what you have achieved and we look forward to seeing you again next season!

Motivation to train is often fueled by race adrenalin, so next season let’s keep supporting our event organizers, and continue to fuel our passion for our wonderful sport! #smallsportbigheart
